' WRENCH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 301,681, dated July 8, 188%. Application filed April 2, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LORING GOES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Vlfrenches; and I declare the construction of that class of wrenches de scribed in my Letters Patent No. 229,673, the objects of this invention being to strengthen the neck of the handle and to aiford a simple and secure means of attaching the wood or side plate to the metal frame.

The particular subjeotmatter claimed is hereinafter definitely specified.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of a wrench embracing my improvements. Fig. 2 is a back view of the handle and a portion of the bar. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the handle-frame at the position-of line x m. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section at the position of line yy, with one of the side plates removed.

' Fig. 5 is an inner face view of one of the side plates. Fig. 6 is a topend View of the side plates, and Fig. 7 is an edge view of one of said plates.

In referring to parts, A designates the bar carrying the head A. B is the movable jaw, G the rosette and adjusting-screw, and D the handle-frame, within which the shank of the bar is firmly fitted and secured by the pin or keyE in a manner substantiallysimilar to that described in my Letters Patent above named.

The form of the liandle-frame is indicated in Fig. lby dotted lines. In my present improvements the handleframe 'D is furnished with lips or flanges a. d, located, as shown, within the angles below the neck or ferrule portion D along the outer edges of the frame-bars. Said'lips d are rigid or integral with the frame D, and serve as braces for strengthening the frame at that position, and also as guards for retaining and protecting the wood or side plates, F. The ferrule or neck portion D is undercut or recessed at a fdrtlren'eception of the neck f of the side plates of the handle.

surface at the heel end h is properly rounded and fitted to the tip of the frame with a suitable ,bevel or incline, so that it will press the top end of the side plate up to position and prevent any backward movement. The two plates F are each bored through, as at t, and are secured by a single bolt, screw, or rivet, G, which passes through the handle at the position shown, and draws the plates firmly down to the frame. A recess, L, is formed on the inner side of the plates F, to give space for the sustaining lug and key E,which holds the bar-shank in the frame D. Said recess can be made by placing the wood in contact with a suitable rotating cutting-tool. The lips dd are made rounding upon their edges, so that the recesses m m may be formed by means of a suitable revolving cutter. By means of guides in connection with the cutters all of the lates can be uniformly gaged to a given size and form.

By making the parts, as shown and described, with the extension f and recesses m m, for en tering and matching the ferrule D and lips (Z, a very strong and desirable connection is effected, while a single rivet, G, suffices for fastenin g the parts together, thus producing a very superior wrench at moderate expense of manufacture.-

What I claim as of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The handle-frame provided with the lips or bracing-flanges d d within the angle at the neck, substantially as set forth.

2. The handlezframe D, provided with the lips or bracing-flanges cl (1, in combination with the bar A, j aw B, and rosette-screw O in an adjustable wrench.

3. The side plate, F, provided with the end extension, f, and shoulder c, in combination with the frame D, having the undercut ferrule portion 1), as set forth.

4. The side plates provided with grooves or recesses m m, in combination with the handleframe provided with side lips or flanges, d d, for matching said recesses, substantially as set forth.

5. The side plate, F, provided with the end extension, f, and recesses m m, in combination with the handle-frame D, provided with the undercut ferrule portion D, and the guardlips d d, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

6. The combination, shown and described, of the Wrench-bar A, furnished with movable jaw and adjusting-screw, the handle-frame LORING GOES. Witnesses:
